A single panel comic with a malformed, slightly damaged, yet freshly built home in the background. In the foreground, a man in a hard hat and a reflective vest is speaking to another man, presumably the buyer, saying, “It’s called vibe construction. I’m not even a contractor! Pretty soon all buildings will be made this way.”

    Well from the outside it looks something like a house. It’s only when you go inside you realize it’s all cardboard toothpicks and super glue holding it up. There’s no bathrooms or closets. Just a living room. A single room.

      Someone actually did attempt to have an AI generate a floorplan blueprint for a house and it had like six bathrooms, labeled two of them bedrooms and another one had two bath tubs, no toilet, and was labeled ensuite even though it opened to … the garage. … With no garage door.

      Actually I went looking for the one people were clowning on and instead I found SEVERAL MORE horrific backrooms-like fever dream layouts ._.

        I thought this would be fun so I gave it a go.

        Tap for A.I. slop

        I asked for just a normal Australian home. Nothing too fancy.

        It gave me a mansion with 4 queen sized bedrooms lol. With an alfresco. I don’t even know what an alfresco is. Also one of the bedrooms is a dungeon with no exit, and there’s a hallway to nowhere. I questioned it about this, and it did that thing like "ok ok you got me, that was just a fake one for fun. Here’s the REAL one.

        To get to the ensuite, you now have to go through the laundry. And to get to the walk in wardrobe you have to go through the ensuite. Also it added like, a “sub hallway” corridor tunnel thing to the secondary bedrooms like it’s a dwarf fortress or a hotel or something. Super funny

          Floor plans are one of the best ways of exposing the limitations of AI.

          AI knows patterns, it knows X is found next to Y. It knows that the label X tends to go with furniture that looks like Z. But, it doesn’t know why for anything. It can’t even ask the question Y. It’s just a pattern matching and generating machine.

          So, it doesn’t understand the purpose of a door, or a hallway, or a bathroom. It won’t tend to put the laundry machines in the living room because that’s not a pattern it has seen, but it’s not because it understands why that might not be ideal.

          It’s actually the same with software, it has just been trained on a lot more software, so it is better able to make something that blends in and looks correct at first glance.

      Ooooh.

      Now I finally understand where those hotels with glass doors and walls for the toilet are coming from recently!
